RETRACTED: Effect of size and volume fraction of particulates on the sliding wear resistance of CuSn composites

This article has been retracted at the request of the editor. Reason: It has been brought to our attention that the above article contains a substantial amount of text which had been published previously by A.T. Alpas and J. Zhang, in Metallurgical and Materials Transactions, Vol 25A (1994) pp. 969–983, ‘Effect of microstructure (particulate size and volume fraction) and counterface material on the sliding wear and resistance of particulate-reinforced aluminium matrix composites’.
